Description:
Rare pamphlet written on Ellis Island as Goldman and Berkman were being deported for "subversion." "For nearly 30 years, Emma Goldman had taunted conservative Americans with her outspoken attacks on government, big business and war. Her name became a household word, synonymous with everything subversive and demonic, but also symbolic of the 'new woman' and of the radical labor movement that blossomed in the years before WWI. To the public she was America's arch revolutionary, both frightening and fascinating. She flaunted her lovers, talked back to the police, smoked in public and marched off to prison carrying James Joyce's Portrait of the Artist under her arm" (Wexler, Emma Goldman in Exile). Mild general wear to wraps. Toning to outer and upper edge of front wrapper. Generous underlining in red ink throughout text. Complete and sound, still. About very good. Book#v2251. $1900. We specialize in Rare Ayn Rand, history, and science.

Description:
The last edition to be edited by Johnson himself, presented is Sixth Edition of Samuel Johnson's "most amazing, enduring and endearing one-man feat in the field of lexicography… The preface ranks among Johnson's finest writings… It is the dictionary itself which justifies Noah Webster's statement that 'Johnson's writings had, in philology, the effect which Newton's discoveries had in mathematics" (PMM 201). Published shortly after Johnson's death (Dec 13, 1784), this edition contains many revisions Johnson had planned after the Fourth Edition (1773). Too, it is the first edition to carry Dr. Johnson's portrait. No missing pages, text generally fresh, usual foxing and a neat previous owner's signature. Handsomely bound in calf and printed cloth. $2400. Book#Pv8b101a We specialize in Rare Ayn Rand, history, and science.

Description:
1st Edition in jacket. "Anyone who says that economic security is a human right, has been too much babied. While he babbles, other men are risking and losing their lives to protect him. Let the fighting men stop fighting this inhuman earth for one hour, and he will learn how much security there is." Scarce First Edition in rare dust jacket, one of only 1,000 copies, of Rose Wilder Lane's masterpiece The Discovery of Freedom. Long out of print, the few copies in existence circulated for years, read and reread as an underground cult classic in the literature of freedom and capitalism. Along with Isabel Paterson's The God of the Machine and Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead, all three originally published in 1943, Lane's masterpiece solidifies her as one of the three "Mothers of Liberty." A second printing was not issued until 1971. A very good or slightly better copy, some toning to endsheets, in a price-clipped dust jacket with some edgewear. No writings or markings of any kind.

Description:
"Receive these sighs to thee my soul I breathe. Fond love in dying groans is all I can bequeathe." Scarce second edition, published anonymously like the first edition, one year prior, of The Dying Negro, "the first significant piece of verse propaganda directed explicitly against the English slave systems". Using a range of rhetorical devises from elegy to prosopopoeia, the dying speaker addresses his beloved, his master, the gods of Africa, and the Christian God, in registers ranging from the sentimental to the polemical to the vengeful, inaugurating a new kind of mortuary poetics. 4to, rebound in modern paper over boards. No writings, markings or bookplates of any kind. Verso of last page with some very light soiling, overall clean. An extremely good copy of this early and important abolitionist poem. Book #Cv2327. $1298. We specialize in Rare Ayn Rand, history, and science.
